Module 1 – Work Experience, Motivation & Wellbeing
As a trainer or consultant, you work with teams, individuals and organisations on change, development and collaboration. What all these processes have in common is people’s motivational functioning. Whether it's about resilience, stress, leadership, performance, learning behaviour or cooperation: motivation and work experience always play a central role.
A deep understanding of the underlying motivational processes helps you to better see what drives people—or what holds them back. It allows you to grasp intra- and interpersonal dynamics, interpret behaviours and provide more effective guidance. Since motivation is both influenceable and measurable, it forms a powerful and fundamental starting point for personal development, team growth and organisational change.
This foundational training offers an in-depth understanding of motivation and wellbeing through the lens of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), one of the most robust and well-researched psychological frameworks worldwide. Under the guidance of experts, including Prof. Dr. Nathalie Aelterman and Sarah Neyts, you’ll translate theory into practice, supported by validated tools such as the Work Experience Scan within the Growth Spot platform.
This three-day module is the entry point for professionals who want to work in an evidence-based way with work experience, motivation and wellbeing. At the heart of the programme lies the ABC model (autonomy, belongingness, competence) as the engine of sustainable motivation.
You will deepen your understanding of the motivation chain, learn the difference between motivation quantity and quality, explore motivation profiles, and practise identifying motivational and wellbeing dynamics in individuals and teams. Together with other professionals, you'll analyse real-world cases, practise facilitation techniques, and learn how to use various methods and tools as levers for behavioural change.
You will also learn how to use Growth Spot to set up evidence-based assessments and learning journeys around motivation and wellbeing, and how to translate scan reports into actionable insights and targeted interventions that truly make a difference in practice.
